Michele Pred⁠ My Body My Business, from the series Power of the Purse, 2017⁠ Electroluminescent wire on vintage purse ⁠ ⁠ “I chose purses as my canvas as a way to marry the powerful, politically-charged language of today's resistance with representations of women's modern economic power and the possibilities for change that come with it. For me, the use of purses from the mid-twentieth century also calls back to that critical era in the women's movement and reminds us how much power we have to effect meaningful change.” Artist Michele Pred is the founder of The Art of Equal Pay, whose mission is to confront and combat the racial and gender pay gaps for visual artists.⁠ ⁠ michelepred⁠ theartofequalpay autumnbreon⁠ #ArtofEqualPay⁠ #21cMuseum⁠ #WomensHistoryMonth
